This is a minimal version of Confluence for those who need speed! With just 3.5 Mb textures, this is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) skin available. Also I really like your non-scrolling home.xml (reminds me of pm3.hd back when XBMC Gui was mainly vertical), all-tough menu items lack written text.
All in all, it's a great upgrade to stock Confluence and hopefully you keep working on this so in future this skin can compete on features with AEON Nox, Rapier and the like... Your clean and refreshing approach and i.e. skin settings dialogs redesign are a great step in that direction. Do you have plans to add a Script page (a tab in skin settings)?
ps. I don't need the Openelec settings. I also would like to suggest to look at e.g. Rapier shutdown menu. It's much more descriptive than current. A bug is that favorites dialog doesn't get a scrollbar. And sounds are missing.
I'll keep an eye on your next version; hopefully you''ll finetune even further, i.e. OSD's could have an update similar to the clean OSD's in Rapier and
Xonfluence. Or have a theme packed with a lot of artwork (backgrounds for settings, studio flags, music genre, etc).

As far as i can look ahead i don't want to compete with Rapier (etc.) feature-wise. I like staying close to Original Confluence, with some additions. (Modern look, fast, Wall views, new main menu, etc.)
I'll check regarding the removal of the OpenELEC submenu item for non OpenELEC-users.
Good point regarding OSD-graphics. Although i made them look more modern, i didn't rework them completely for FullHD resolution. I started making new vector based OSD-graphics, but paused on that for the moment since a don't have enough spare time to finish all of the icons (there are _many_).
That being said:
- Just released an update with a 2nd Wall View (more items) and some minor improvements
Ok, thnx.
I assume you are aware of universal's work of updating
all icons in Confluence. He even shares
his .PSD's. Maybe that's some help for your work on HD icons.
ps. Could you highlight which elements are HD (based on dimensions) and which aren't?
And I have an error in log:
Code:
18:06:46 T:5264 ERROR: CImageLoader::DoWork - Direct texture file loading failed for special://skin/backgrounds/_home_icon_programs_.png
